[Chorus]
I know you think I've been so nice
I've helped you out and sacrificed
But I'm scared to say, I load my dice
But I'm bad, bad news
I'm a bad, bad dude
And I'm bad for you
[Verse 1]
When I'm half-good, let me reaffirm
I said half-good, I tend to stretch the term
And the stretch marks always show
And when I'm half-good, I have a smile on my lips
Like maybe that could help me beguile and grip
And I keep myself up on my toes
And the stretch marks always show
When you're swimming through your tears across the party
Feeling stupid and unwanted
Feeling drunk and disenchanted
I'll be by the door
And I'll smile just like a good friend
But that's not from my good end
I don't smile to make you happy, peaceful, or serene
I smile because I'm mean
[Chorus]
I know you think I've been so nice
I've helped you out and sacrificed
But I'm scared to say, I load my dice
And I'm bad, bad news
I'm a bad, bad dude
And I'm bad for you
[Verse 2]
I'd be a bad dad, I honestly think
I'd be a bad dad
I'd be a permanent link in a long chain of abuse
I'd be that dad, the one a kid can't stand the sight of
I'd be that dad, he wouldn't k** me, but he might have
If I hadn't later set him loose
It's a long chain of abuse
I can see my older self frail on a d**hbed
With arms and legs like whispers
With only whitewashed whiskers
Staring at the door
And I'll wonder if I'm forgiven, if just one angel listened
If any of my children would come and visit me
St. Peter drops his keys
[Chorus]
I know you think I've been so nice
I've helped you out and sacrificed
But I'm sad to say, I load my dice
And I'm bad, bad news
I'm a bad, bad dude
And I'm bad for you
And I'm bad for you
And I'm bad for you
